convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. this will get you one step closer to finding the unit rate

Kaylis [27]

It means for example instead of writing 2 2/5 You would write 12/5
You can find out an improper fraction by simply multiplying the denominator by the front number and adding the answer to you numerator
So, 2x5= 10. 10+2= 12. So 12/5

The side of rhombus is 14 in. The obtuse angle is 160º. Find the longer diagonal of the rhombus.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

x = 27.57 in to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer diagonal is opposite the obtuse angle.

Also as it is a rhombus all sides = 14 in.

Use the Cosine Rule:

x^2 = 14^2 + 14^2 - 2*14^2 cos 160

x^2 = 760.36

x = sqrt 760.36

x = 27.57 in.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

a. The probability of getting an specific sequence would be

$(1/20)*(1/19)*(1/18)*(1/17)*(1/16)$

b. The probability of having an specific sequence would be.

$5/20 = 1/4$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If you draw 5 marbles without replacement, the probability of getting an specific sequence would be

$(1/20)*(1/19)*(1/18)*(1/17)*(1/16)$

b. If you draw 5 marbles all at once without replacement, the probability of having an specific sequence would be.

$5/20 = 1/4$
